Dearest Darling Friends,
In the whole world, domestic violence is a generational problem. Almost 85% of all abused, become abusers. A few ( 15% ) do resort to Motivational training, they do listen to motivational speakers, they do refer to inspirational quotes and self-help books. They do put sincere efforts to go beyond the wounds of the past but sometimes the scars are too deep to heal ordinarily. An alarming 85% DO NOT HEAL. Its worse than an epidemic.
In New Zealand, Shine, the largest domestic abuse charity, needed to bring this to public attention and seek their help in erasing this social issue. FCB Auckland, created a campaign titlled, 'The never-ending street poster. This is how the ads looked...
I am asking myself this question. What would the story of my son and me and his son and him and his son and so on....
Would it be....
...Papa hugs son. It is magic. Son became papa. Papa hugs son. It is magic. Son becomes papa. Papa hugs son. It is magic. Son became papa. Papa...
...Papa is violent. Son became papa. Papa is violent. Son became papa.Papa is violent. Son became papa. Papa...

My dearest friends, if you don't mind, for the above numbers 9 and 10, do think about two possible situation from your life. Irrespective of what is the reality today, ensure, the future is brilliant and strongly positive.
Instead of 'Papa', maybe you are the 'Mummy'. Instead of 'Son', maybe, you have a 'Daughter'. Maybe, you have both. Maybe you dont have them yet. Genders and numbers are not important.
Let's not just leave something right FOR the children. Let's leave something right IN the children.
With love, prayers and exceptional wishes,
Prachi
